Hello all,
First of all, let me say that the Staudacher is my favorite aerobatics design. I have some good 3-views of an S-300 GS, and I would like to design about a 40% airplane. I like the look of airfoiled empennage, and I noticed that Chip seems to be the same way (Aeroworks Ultimate). Is this legal to do this? Thanks for the input.
See the rules regarding the aircraft design here:

There are no restrictions on the airfoil.
There is a design for the Staudacher already done by one of the Masters competitors. It is in the 42% range. The designer lives in the Carolinas and stated the plans and parts are available. I can't recall the gents name but will look at the Masters Video tape and get it for you if you would like to pursue that.
Take a look at the following link as it includes several 3 views that are downloadable.
